For example, when the amount of surplus sludge generated is set to zero, about three times the sludge generated as a surplus sludge produced by a normal activated sludge process is ozone-treated as a drawn-out sludge. SRT (Hereafter, live bacteria S
(RT is called SRT ') is shortened to about 1/3. For this reason, in the conventional method, when the water temperature is low in winter, the decomposition of organic matter becomes insufficient and the treated water quality becomes unstable, and undecomposed organic sludge accumulates in the sludge flocs, which may cause aeration tanks and solidification. The sludge settability in the liquid separation tank may deteriorate.

Further, as an ozone treatment tank, a liquid-phase contact area for blowing ozone into drawn sludge for gas-liquid contact is formed in the lower part of the tank, and a foam contact area for contacting foamed foam and ozone is formed on the upper part thereof. The use of an ozone treatment tank configured to be formed further enhances ozone treatment efficiency. The height of the liquid-phase contact area is 0.2 to 3 m, preferably 0.
5 to 1.5 m. The height of the foam contact area may be 1 m or more above the liquid surface of the drawn sludge in the liquid phase contact area, but is preferably 1 to 10 m, more preferably 2 to 5 m.

A foam retaining member can be filled in the foam contact area, whereby when the inside diameter of the ozone treatment tank is large and it is difficult to retain the foam, or the concentration of the biological sludge is low, the extracted sludge is unlikely to foam. Even in such a case, the foam can be efficiently retained and the ozone treatment efficiency can be increased. The foam holding member may have a structure capable of holding foam, but a partition plate structure such as a honeycomb shape or a lattice shape is preferable.

The above-mentioned liquid spraying device is provided above the foam contact area in the ozone treatment tank to collect industrial water, final treatment liquid, drawing liquid from the ozone treatment tank, or a mixed liquid of the drawing liquid and the liquid to be treated. It can be sprayed towards the foam layer, which can prevent excessive foaming and maintain the foam contact area at a predetermined height. In this case, it is preferable to use a drawing liquid or a mixed liquid of the drawing liquid and the liquid to be treated because the sludge concentration of the liquid in the tank does not decrease and the nozzles and the like are not clogged. Since the foam contact area of the ozone treatment tank is only filled with foam, the strength of the ozone treatment tank may be smaller than that of an apparatus that fills the inside of the tank with the liquid to be treated, and the ozone treatment apparatus becomes a low cost accordingly.

Explaining in detail the case where the reforming treatment is ozone treatment, the parameters of the third term in the above equation [2] are the mineralization rate δ and the circulation ratio θ, of which δ is the ozone injection rate to sludge. Is 0.01 g-O 3 / g-VSS or higher, the steady value is around 0.5, and thus the apparent volume reduction rate of sludge is determined in proportion to θ in this region. On the other hand, the circulation ratio θ does not affect the sludge activity up to about 0.5 day -1 . This means that the sludge activity of the aerobic biological treatment system 1 is maintained even if less than 1/2 of the biological sludge 3a retained in the aerobic biological treatment system 1 is circulated to the ozone treatment system as drawn sludge 3f per day.

Therefore, the upper limit of the circulation ratio θ is 0.5 day -1.
It is said that When θ is zero, the complete oxidation method is used, but in this case the sludge load is low and the volume reduction effect is small.
When the amount of the extracted sludge 3f is the same as the amount of the grown sludge 3d, the volume reduction rate is the same as that of the conventional method. In normal aerobic biological treatment, SRT is 10 days and sludge extraction rate is 0.1 day -1 . In the present invention, the amount of drawn sludge 3 which is more than that of 3d
When circulating f, the lower limit of the circulation ratio θ is a value greater than 0.1Day -1, may preferably be 0.2Day -1 or more, when a particular 0.3Day -1, excess sludge does not occur 100% volume reduction is possible.

In the apparatus of FIG. 2, one aeration tank is divided into partition plates 13
Is divided into a first aeration tank 11a and a second aeration tank 11b by means of the first aeration tank 11a and the second aeration tank 11a.
b can also be configured as an independent aeration tank. In this case, even if the volume of the second aeration tank is small, the SRT of living bacteria can be lengthened, so the volume of the aeration tank as a whole becomes smaller than that in the case of obtaining an equivalent SRT in one aeration tank, It is advantageous in terms of additional space and cost. Further, although the separated sludge separated by the solid-liquid separation device 12 is subjected to ozone treatment, it is also possible to extract the in-tank liquid of the first aeration tank 11a to perform ozone treatment.
